Reid to hold health hearings in Reno, Las Vegas
Monday, Jan. 12, 1998 | 10:18 a.m.
Long-term health care for the elderly will be the focus of hearings Monday in Las Vegas and Tuesday in Reno.
Both hearings will begin at 9 a.m. The Las Vegas hearing will be held at the West Charleston Library, and the Reno hearing at Washoe Medical Center's Mack Auditorium.
The Reno hearing will be broadcast by satellite to Battle Mountain, Elko, Ely, Hawthorne, Lovelock, Winnemucca and Yerington.
"To my knowledge, this will be the first Senate Aging Committee hearing ever broadcast to multiple sites," he said.
Reid, a senior member of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, said his committee will look for ways to police the growing long-term health care industry to make sure seniors are not being overcharged.
The hearings are titled, "The Many Faces of Long-Term Care - Today's Bitter Pill or Tomorrow's Cure."
